    Antique Buddha Descending From Tavatimsa Heaven

    Burma
    1960s
    1.70 x 84 cm

     
    Imagery associated with the Buddha's descent from Tavatimsa heaven is a popular theme in art from Burma and the region. It is often seen in temple murals, paintings and woven banners.
     
    According to Buddhist lore, the Buddha travelled to Tavatimsa heaven in order to impart his teachings to his mother, who died seven days after his birth. 
     
    He is shown in monk's robes with his characteristic head protuberance crowned by a flame, upon a staircase created by the king of the gods. The enthroned Buddha surrounded by adoring devas. A Brahma holds a parasol for the Buddha’s decent. Worshippers in the prayer position prepare to welcome him to earth.
     
    This is an illustration of one of the eight great events of the historical Buddha’s life.
     
    This is minor fading and staining. The overall condition is good.
     
    If there is interest, I will provide other details/information available prior to purchase.
